RECLAMATION PLAN <br />CBC GRAVEL PIT <br />Production of sand and gravel at CBC Gravel Pit will commence upon issuance of permit <br />and continue until the supply of materials is exhausted or it becomes financially <br />unfeasible to mine. Estimated completion date of mining is March 2019. Final <br />reclamation of the site will be within two (2) years of last mining. This is to allow for <br />proper weather/environmental conditions favorable to the seeding of grass. <br />The overburden at the site consists of loose topsoil ranging in depth from nothing (bare <br />rock showing) to approximately three (3) feet in depth. This topsoil will be removed by <br />heavy equipment and stored in open piles at the border of the site. It is the intent of the <br />operator to remove, segregate and protect all of the available topsoil at the site for future <br />reclamation use. <br />The underlying sandstone rock will be removed with heavy equipment and crushed on <br />site to a size suitable for roadways. The crushed and uncrushed dug rock will be stored on <br />site until needed or sold. It is presumed that the sought after sandstone rock lies roughly <br />ten (10) feet in depth. The quality, quantity and cost to mine this product will determine <br />volume of rock produced and stockpiled. These volumes will vary depending on <br />demand. Mined rock will be stockpiled near the middle of the site. <br />No more than fifty percent (50%) of the total land in this permit will be in production at <br />one time starting at the southeastern corner and moving north and west. The; remaining <br />land will be in its pre-mine (current) state, or in the process of reclamation and reseeding. <br />All the land in the permit has the potential to produce the sought after sand and gravel, <br />and so will be fully involved in the operation. Final reclamation of the total affected land <br />will be two (2) years after concluding mining. The entire site will be graded. and <br />reclaimed to mimic pre-existing mining slope and condition. Upon reclamation the <br />northern half of the mined area will be near level with the remaining land sloping to the <br />south and west. Reference to grade and slope will be taken from the topography survey <br />map completed and included in this application. <br />As shown on the accompanying maps (assessors GIS and survey) there are no buildings, <br />only intermentent ponds and creeks (waterways), no oil or gas wells (or lines), or water <br />wells within two hundred (200) feet of the mine. There is a power line that borders <br />Dolores County Road 2, east of the permit. With a buffer of near one hundred (100) feet <br />from the edge of the operation this line is in no danger from the mining operation. There <br />is only one other landowner and the mineral right owners of the mined land within two
